This scene of a Japanese officer grinning ferociously, waving his saber, and beheading an innocent mother and son in the street, soon appeared in various languages and uploaded all over the world.
War will infinitely amplify the "evil" in people's hearts.
But it's still rare to be so evil.
The Russians knew how to be sneaky when they massacred the Poles in the Katyn Forest, but the Japanese just carried out the murders in the streets without any scruples, without giving Vichy France any face.
Don’t forget that Indochina is still a French colony. Nominally, everyone living in French Indochina is French.
Two Frenchmen were killed by the Japanese in the street, but the local colonial government did not say a word. The impact was more serious than France giving up its resistance.
It is normal to lose to the Germans, but it is not that they have never lost before. The French have gradually become accustomed to it after the Franco-Prussian War.
But it doesn't make sense that even the Japanese lost.
Why do the British and French like to laugh at the Russians?
Not only because Russia is the only country in the world, but also because Russia lost the Russo-Japanese War. It was the first time in modern times that a European country lost to an Asian country.
The French colonial government in Indochina was indeed shameful. Not only did they fail to hold the Japanese officers accountable, but the Rand Bank even paid for the bodies of the innocent mother and child to be cleaned up. After all, the horrific scene on the other side of the door was really unsightly.
The Japanese responded quickly, describing the child's curious touch as an attack on the Japanese army, and the officer's behavior could naturally be explained.
As for whether the reasons explained can convince the public, to be honest, the Japanese government doesn't really care.
Since the outbreak of the war, the brutality of the Japanese army has been exposed a lot, and we don’t care if there is one more. Simply looking at numbers, the Germans are more outrageous than the Japanese.
It's really too much.
Entering September, the Battle of Smolensk, which started relatively later than the Battle of Kiev, ended earlier than the Battle of Kiev.
In this battle, the Russian army suffered 350,000 casualties and another 450,000 were captured.
The Russians have no time to grieve. At this time, there are still nearly 800,000 people surrounded in Kiev, and they have also run out of ammunition and food.
"Russia lost 800,000 people in Smolensk, already lost 200,000 in Kiev, and now another 800,000 people are surrounded. How much is the loss in Minsk?" Winston's expression on the plane to Moscow
Dignified, very worried about the situation in Russia.
"Almost 500,000, of which about 320,000 were captured." Rock was not too worried. Winter was approaching and Russia still had a chance.
80 + 80 and then + 50, more than half of Russia's pre-war military strength has been reduced.
Don't forget that hundreds of thousands of troops are still surrounding Leningrad.
"Can the Russians still hold on? Although the Russians are recruiting more troops, those recruits need to undergo long-term training to become qualified soldiers. The Germans probably will not leave much time for the Russians." Wen said.
Stone was uneasy and suddenly felt the urge to order the plane to turn around and fly back.
All the damn people are almost dead, so what kind of meeting is there?
"Calm down Winston, we must have confidence in our allies." Rock is not worried about this problem. The bloody nature of the Russians will only explode when they are forced into a desperate situation.
Although Rock doesn't like big beards.
But Rock also has to admit that the bearded man does have courage that ordinary people don't have.
Apart from anything else, ordinary people simply cannot do the heroic act of losing five million troops and immediately recruiting another five million.
This was, at best, an act of courage.
To put it bluntly, it means taking human life lightly.
It's not that Rock doesn't have the courage.
But if it were southern Africa, this kind of thing would be impossible to happen.
"I can't calm down. If Russia also fails, I can only consider moving the capital to Canada." Winston's expression was gloomy. Southern Africa was far away from the Germans, and Rock was definitely not worried.
Britain is just across the Channel.
Once Russia fails and the Germans turn around, the English Channel will simply not be able to hold.
In the past, Winston was very confident in defending the English Channel. Even if the army was not effective, the navy was still reliable.
Looking back now, Winston suddenly discovered that the Royal Navy was not that reliable. If the German army crossed the English Channel in the dark, everything would be over.
The combat effectiveness that Germany is showing now is really scary.
Rock glanced at Winston and said nothing.
Are you afraid now?
When Rock hoped that Britain could provide more aid to Russia, Winston behaved like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, and did not pry out a dime.
"Can't you send the troops gathered in the Mediterranean to Russia via the Black Sea to give Russia greater help?" Winston still wants to kill two birds with one stone.
Sending the troops gathered in the Mediterranean in Southern Africa to Russia will not only help the Russians withstand the crazy German offensive, but also reduce the possibility of Southern Africa continuing to expand its influence around the Mediterranean.
The performance of the German army in Russia was a bit scary.
The performance of southern African troops in Spain was equally frightening.
Franco's army had experienced several years of civil war and was very experienced.
Now that Spain has been completely conquered by Southern Africa, the newly established Spanish government is obviously a puppet government supported by Southern Africa. In the conquest of Spain by Southern Africa, it seems that all three armies of the sea, land and air were involved. In fact, only one armored division of ground troops was invested from beginning to end.
.
This surprised all military observers.
Since the outbreak of the European War, the combat effectiveness displayed by the German army has been terrifying enough.
It turns out there is something even scarier here.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Spain's weakness. After all, before the war broke out, Franco had already sent his most elite troops to the Russian battlefield.
"Why don't you send the Royal Navy to attack the Baltic Sea?" Rock was very dissatisfied. Cooperation with the British was like this. He had to be prepared for the British's calculations at all times.
Previously, Rock and Winston wanted to see both Russia and Germany suffer losses.
Now Winston finds that the Russians are not very useful. Just like when he saw southern Africa and Germany, Russia suffered three defeats.
This calculation is so shrewd that others are fools and can be manipulated by Winston at will.
The Baltic Sea has now almost become a lake for the Germans. As long as the Royal Navy invades the Baltic Sea, more assistance can be given to Russia through the Baltic Sea.
"No, no, no, the most important task of the Royal Navy now is to blockade the German coast." Winston knew the strength of the Royal Navy very well.
Now, unlike in the past, when battleships were becoming increasingly useless, Southern Africa, which has more aircraft carriers, has surpassed the Royal Navy in strength.
If you look at it this way, as early as ten years ago, the naval strength of Southern Africa had surpassed that of the Royal Navy.
It is a pity that the generals of the British Navy at that time could not accept the fact that aircraft carriers replaced battleships.
Therefore, when it comes to attacking the Baltic Sea, the Southern African navy has an obvious advantage.
Rock and Winston are now taking Rock's special plane to Moscow under the protection of the Southern African Air Force.
Under normal circumstances, even if Rock and Winston travel at the same time, they cannot take the same plane.
Winston still trusts the Southern African Air Force.
Since Rock dared to sit down, Winston had no reason to refuse.
Speaking of which, it was just Rock's special plane that was replaced by a Royal Navy plane. Winston really didn't dare to fly on it.
"We have to reduce the pressure on Russia as much as possible, so we need to open a second battlefield as soon as possible." Roque is now full of confidence. The performance of the Southern African army in Spain deserves more trust.
Don't forget that the United States has not yet entered the war.
If a second battlefield is opened now and a fatal blow is given to the Germans from behind, then Americans will never even think of participating in the distribution of benefits after the war.
Americans are not stupid either, so they have tried their best to give the Japanese opportunities to actively drag the United States into the war.
So the Japanese foolishly chose Pearl Harbor.
What Rock is thinking now is whether it is necessary to remind Roosevelt again when he sees him.
Even if the United States wants to join the war, there is no need to pay such a high price.
Think of the battleships of the Pacific Fleet
To be honest, if Americans really don’t want it, they can give it to southern Africa.
You can also sell it.
"Wait a minute, Locke, the Russians haven't lost yet." Winston firmly disagreed.
Southern Africa has successfully defeated Spain.
If a second battlefield is opened, it will be either France or Italy.
Needless to say for the French, surrender is like cheating, as long as it happens for the first time, it will happen countless times.
Italy, don't listen to the boasts of the fat bald man. The combat effectiveness of the army has been exhausted during the Greek campaign. Winston can imagine that if the southern African army lands in Italy, then the Italians may also be able to make a pot of food.
I am happy to welcome Master Wang.
After all, even the British Army could teach the Italians a lesson in North Africa.
If the fat bald man knew that the Italian army held this position in Winston's heart, he would probably be very angry.
The plane traveled very quickly and arrived in Moscow at night on September 25th.
Rock was woken up by Yang Smozi in the middle of the night.
"I just received the news that the last Russian army surrendered in the east of Kiev. The Battle of Kiev is over, and all 660,000 people in the encirclement have surrendered." Yang Smuts felt heavy. This was another huge blow to the Allies.
Rock was not surprised by this result.
However, even though he had been mentally prepared for it, when he learned the news, Rock couldn't help but feel dizzy.
That’s 660,000 people
The combined armies of many countries do not have 660,000 troops.
The key is that these are just prisoners.
Counting the wounded, killed, and those who escaped, Russia's losses this time must have exceeded one million people.
It's not even October yet, so you might as well hold on for a few more days.
The matter has come to this, and there is no point in feeling heartbroken.
When I saw Big Beard in the morning, Big Beard was still very optimistic.
"We did lose some troops, but don't worry about my friends, the Russians will never be intimidated, and more Russians will stand up to defend this country." The bearded voice was deep and powerful, with a more casual understatement.
It was like losing not nearly a million troops, but a hundred chickens stolen by the Germans.
"The Germans also suffered huge losses in Kiev. We effectively delayed the Germans, and now Germany is closer to their demise." Big Beard tried hard to convince Roark that this loss was nothing to Russia.
Of course this is also a warning.
"That's right, the Germans now own the entire Ukraine, and they are bound to send more troops to maintain their rule. This will effectively disperse the German forces. One will wax and wane, our strength will become stronger, and the Germans' strength will
We are getting weaker and weaker, and the final victory must belong to us." Winston was also confident, but it was more like giving chicken soup to the bearded man.
"We have defeated Spain and are preparing to launch a new attack. When will you be able to deal with the German and Italian forces in North Africa?" Rock dug a hole for Winston.
It's not that Southern Africa doesn't try its best, but it's that Southern Africa doesn't dare to advance lightly until the war in North Africa is ended.
After all, we need to maintain a coordinated front line. What if southern Africa goes north and is cut off by the Italians?
Let’s not talk about whether the Italians have this kind of strength.
As long as there is such a possibility, Rock cannot let this happen.
"With the strength of southern Africa and Britain, shouldn't those bastards be easily eliminated?" The bearded man made no secret of his hatred for the Germans.
The mustache has always admired the pure Aryans, but the big beard makes the mustache uncomfortable.
Germany's attack on Russia is, strictly speaking, a betrayal of the relationship between Germany and Russia.
Don’t forget what Germany and Russia signed before.
Rock looked at Winston and smiled without saying anything.
If it weren't for Winston's insistence, Rommel wouldn't be able to survive now.
genius?
Don't be ridiculous, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how talented a general is, it's useless.
Rommel's men only had a few men, and all of them had three heads and six arms. They were no match for the "Tiger" and "Leopard" tanks.
"Our Eighth Army is responsible for the German-Italian Allied Forces in North Africa. What we have to discuss now is how to completely defeat the Germans." Winston did not continue. North Africa has been fighting so far. If Southern Africa is allowed to intervene, then Britain will not be able to defeat the Germans for so long.
Persistence will be pointless.
Although the North African campaign has gradually changed.
Before the outbreak of the Spanish War, Britain could still use the strong strength of the German-Italian coalition as an excuse to try to prove that the reason why the North African War had been delayed until now was not on the British side.
The Spanish campaign ended so quickly that the British army in North Africa looked like a joke.
The British Eighth Army now numbered over 250,000 men.
Rommel's number of troops did not exceed 150,000.
The British army also had nearly unlimited logistical supplies in southern Africa, with as many aircraft, tanks, cannons, and cars as they wanted. Italy had to be secretive if it wanted to send some fuel to Rommel.
He had superior troops, superior weapons and equipment, and Auchinleck was no fool, but why couldn't he defeat the Germans?
"Locke, Russians never forget the help of their friends. We need more assistance now, weapons, ammunition, medicine, food, etc. Everything we need is available in southern Africa." The bearded man ignored Winston.
